Working Out With Money

The document discusses God's plan for money according to the Bible. It addresses common doubts about whether the Bible discusses money, if money is good or evil, and if seeking wealth is opposed to eternal life. It provides three reasons to believe the Bible addresses these issues: God has a plan for our lives, the Bible clearly discusses money over 2350 verses, and it wants us to have the right attitude about our possessions. The rest of the document offers biblical principles for money management, including living within our means, eliminating debt, giving to God, preparing for the future, having the right attitude, understanding freedom from the love of money, and the importance of planning.
